I'm sure even under the old SL / current International rules that should have been scrum France not England (France releasing ball on/after held called). It can only be England ball via a penalty??

what a pointless game! another drubbing for the french by an average england team.

International games should be the peak of any sportspersons acheivement, i'll bet the French are up for it!!

Rob Burrow is a one trick pony. Most of the time he ends up hurt after getting smashed!

Was the Morley dropped ball not a knock on? France have had a few key ref decisions go against them, but asides from that they look better than last week.

Allow me to explain.

It is a game of rugby league. Some people appreciate it, particularly when it is played by skilled athletes giving it their all. Few people admire whinging on messageboards.

Admire the great game for what it is. A while ago I saw several hundred Danes hugely appreciate a game of rugby league, which was their first game for the large majority of them. Perhaps, you should politely ask some of them to explain why it is a great spectacle and why you are very fortunate to be able to witness it - they clearly know more about the game than you.

Both sides are being allowed to spoil in the ruck, but I think England are getting the benefit of some calls

Hurray. Made it.

Richard Lewis should hang his head in shame. This wouldn't have happened under Fallowfield.

Bloody cold though.

Get the feeling the second half is going to be a massacre. Nice finish by Charnley.

Great pass from Chase for Hall to get his third. Sinfield has his radar switched on.

It was mentioned last week but England are not going to get these sort of calls playing the Aussies, especially when they whine and moan and get an Aussie ref!

I think we desperately need to see more full time players from France. Catalans have helped but not enough.

Still, the depth England have now is better than ever in my memory.

Teams should be allowed to sign (born and bred) French players and not have their salary counted on the cap. Also forget the idea of having the West Coats Pirates play in SL unless they have te same quota as the other teams!

Good to see Myler was kicked out for this one. We need someone with a better attitude and a more team-oriented mentality, like Chase.

Edited by Just Browny, 11 November 2012 - 06:58 PM.

Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.
